Placement testing is free, so don’t wait any longer – a new life is on the horizon!

Intensive English Programs

UCEDA INTERNATIONAL courses are offered as Intensive English Programs in order to help students obtain a firm mastery of the language in a time frame that may be condensed according to individual needs. Intensive English Programs (IEP) consist of 18 instructional hours per week. Premium and Compressed IEP options are also available, which can include up to 20 hours per week.

For your convenience, each instructional site offers multiple schedules in the mornings and evenings. Most classes meet 5 days per week (MON-FRI), although some locations may also offer 4-day classes. Workshop classes, lasting only one hour each, are also held 3 days per week by an instructor who tailors the material to the individual needs of students in attendance. The following are some typical examples of schedules offered:
